Library

Free English books for people learning English

170 books, all public domain and free to download as EPUB from Standard Ebooks. Difficulty is measured from each book’s own text: every word is looked up in a CEFR-graded vocabulary list, so a book’s level is counted rather than guessed.

Vocabulary levels come from the CEFR-J Vocabulary Profile and the Octanove Vocabulary Profile, both openly licensed. A measure of words and sentences cannot see how hard the ideas are — Plato is plain-spoken and still Plato. How every figure here is measured, and how to pick one for your level.

What is your English like?

Pick a level and every book will say how much of it you would follow.
